You're Killing Me!

Zara is officially trying to get me bankrupt! I saw some amazing stuff there yesterday, but only got that skirt I was telling you about before (the same as my navy one but in a lovely flower print). But this got my eye fixed:

Totally Miu Miu inspired uh? 

(It looks so much better with that peter pan collar, but no, it doesn't come with that.)

I first thought is was a playsuit when I saw the first picture at the Zara page on Facebook, but then yesterday there it was looking at me from the hanger, and it was a dress! My boyfriend liked more the butterflies+polkadots version, but this one is perfection. Either one, despite costing only €20 (yeah!!) I can't really spend much money right now :/ Maybe the boyfriend will surprise me? haha!

Things to Love: Military

 What's not to love about military? Especially jackets? I got my own a year ago as a gift, but only started to wear it more often recently. You can see it here and here. Leave you with Who What Wear shows about this trend. My favorites? Rachel Bilson and Alexa Chung. And yours?

 

PS: Also! I am sorry but apparently I exceeded my bandwidth on Photobucket so till the 4th of May most of my posts will have that stupid image instead of the ones I posted. I am truly considering of going back to use Blogger because the only thing that made my use Photobucket was the size of the images, that it is now solved with the new Blogger features!

You got the love

Lefties red dress worn as shirt, Zara navy skirt, Havaianas sandals.

What I Wore to the beach last Sunday.
It still is beach weather here, anyone to join me?

ps: that gorgeous guy up there is my boyfriend photographer.

Yesterday outfit for when I went shopping. Only got some beach flip flops and a Beatles t-shirt for my boyfriend (maybe I can steal it once in a while!). Actually both items are from Bershka, usually a shop I didn't like, but it is surprising me, there were some cute stuff there! However I resisted buying the things I loved because my budget is getting really tight.

H&M dress with embroidered detail; Parfois wedges; Berhska jacket (really old!); Paco Martinez bag (gift from the bf).

I wore a jacket but I didn't really needed it, there's a heat wave hitting us right now that is making me be even more lazy than the usual! ha!

I really can't let go

Even at the beach I am wearing nautical!

Remember that bikini that was in my wishlist? Yes, there isn't an H&M here at Madeira, but I managed to buy it when I went to Coimbra before Easter! And is there a better way to celebrate the first dive of the year than with a nautical bikini? No! :) Even if that dive turned out to be me felling when a big wave came :X

H&M bikini, Mango sunglasses.

Plus some pictures I took. Again the Caravela Portuguesa, and the rocky beach.

Little Blue Skirt

And another outfit post. Now you can see the navy skirt I was referring to, doesn't it look like the AA ones? I still didn't manage to go back to Zara to search again for the flower print one.

Zara navy skirt, stripped t-shirt and gray leather brogues; Calzedonia gray tights; Streetseller from Coimbra nautical earrings.

Things to Love: Flowers

Happy Earth day! 

So what a better way to celebrate it by showing you one of the most beautiful things on Earth: Flowers. Here are my favorite pictures from the Parade of The Flower Fest last Sunday.

Hope you liked it!

ps: sim é a Rita Pereira na primeira foto lol

Like a Child on Christmas

... Opening my La Redoute lastest buys, that arrived today!
Take a sneak peek on them!


White espadrilles (€15) are a La Redoute Creation for La Redoute and the black leather brogues (€69) are from Soft Grey for La Redoute.

I confess I expected the espadrilles to be a better quality type, but for €15 what would one want?

But the brogues? Aren't they perfect? The leather is from a very good quality and they are so pretty I am afraid to wear them and make some kind of damage on them :)

Oh and the best part? I actually got a €15 discount on this order, plus free shipment costs and they sent me a bed set :D so all I really paid for were the brogues

Oh yes, again

I am not feeling so well today, tummy ache :| so leaving you with my outfit from yesterday, stripes, yes, again. But now in a black version ha, with boots because yesterday was a very rainy day!
(Today I wore navy ones :|with the new skirt from Zara!)

H&M skirt, Lefties shirt, Calzedonia tights, Seaside boots, Claire's headbow.

ps: the comment of my boyfriend regarding this skirt - "That skirt looks like plastic!" --'

I (L) Zara

Everyone who knows me well (irl) knows that Zara is my favorite store ever, H&M almost catches it, but still, Zara is Zara (and with Inditex with it's full force in Portugal...).

So leave you with an amazing lookbook for this season, Zara Lookbook from March (first 3 photos) and Trafaluc Lookbook from April (last 3 photos).

Perfection!
Pictures via, but you can take a better look here.

ps: I really want to buy those brogues from the first picture, and I've had them in my hands, but they're a bit pricey for me right now :|
pps: oh and I bought a navy skirt from Zara today, totally AA lookalike. Want to buy one with the floral print too, but they didn't have my size, later will buy it!

But I don't want you to hide

What I wore today for the Flower Fest Parade (minus the shoes, I changed into brogues or else would die!).

More pictures of flowers for you later, maybe tomorrow? I took so many that I have to browse through all and choose the best ones.

H&M dress and polkadot tights, Zara boyfriend blazer and peep-toe shoes, Claire's green bow.

And a plus: Beto :)

Flower Picture Overload

Some pictures of the streets of Funchal ornamented with, guess what? Yeah flowers :)

Also, I didn't know what to wear with this crazy - pouring rain to sunshine to pouring rain- weather, so I went with a floral dress of H&M The Garden Collection, Seaside boots and Zara trench coat.

Madeira as beautiful as ever.
